Ingredients:

  • 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tbsp fresh lime juice
  • 1 tbsp Sriracha
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper, cracked
  • 4 sea bass fillets (6 oz each), skin-on
  • 4 fresh lime slices
  • 2 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped

Instructions:

  1. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lime juice, Sriracha, minced garlic, smoked paprika, and cumin until the emulsion is smooth.
  2. Pat the sea bass fillets bone-dry with paper towels. Brush the marinade generously over all sides of the fillets and let them rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.
  3. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (approx. 400°F / 200°C). Clean the grates thoroughly and lightly oil them.
  4. Place the fillets skin-side down. Press down lightly for 5 seconds to ensure contact. Grill for 4-5 minutes without moving them until a mahogany-colored crust forms.
  5. Flip the fillets and grill for an additional 4-5 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches the desired doneness. Garnish with fresh cilantro and grilled lime slices.
